Cluster varieties from Legendrian knots
Many interesting spaces --- including all positroid strata and wild character
varieties --- are moduli of constructible sheaves on a surface with
microsupport in a Legendrian link. We show that the existence of cluster
structures on these spaces may be deduced in a uniform, systematic fashion by
constructing and taking the sheaf quantizations of a set of exact Lagrangian
fillings in correspondence with isotopy representatives whose front projections
have crossings with alternating orientations. It follows in turn that results
in cluster algebra may be used to construct and distinguish exact Lagrangian
fillings of Legendrian links in the standard contact three space.Comment: 47 page
Toda Systems, Cluster Characters, and Spectral Networks
We show that the Hamiltonians of the open relativistic Toda system are
elements of the generic basis of a cluster algebra, and in particular are
cluster characters of nonrigid representations of a quiver with potential.
Using cluster coordinates defined via spectral networks, we identify the phase
space of this system with the wild character variety related to the periodic
nonrelativistic Toda system by the wild nonabelian Hodge correspondence. We
show that this identification takes the relativistic Toda Hamiltonians to
traces of holonomies around a simple closed curve. In particular, this provides
nontrivial examples of cluster coordinates on -character varieties for where canonical functions associated to simple closed curves can be
computed in terms of quivers with potential, extending known results in the
case.Comment: 37 pages; Minor updates from previous versio
